Energy savings of 22 to 56%: results of experiments on pilot buildings under the HOMES program in associationwith the French Electrical Contractors’ Association (FFIE) Over the past 20 months, a series of experiments conducted on 5 pilot sites by the
HOMES program and the FFIE have produced exceptional results in terms of energy
savings. As well as identifying several improvement drivers, the initiative has also
unlocked the potential for commercializing a number of prototype technical
innovations.

Schneider Electric presents its HOMES programme during the Innovation week in the Rhône-Alpes Pavilion. From the 17th to 22st May 2010, the Shanghai World Expo visitors assisted to the Innovation week in the Rhône-Alpes pavillion. A round table was organised on the 21st May around the theme: “How to guide companies to more collaborative innovation?”. The participants (Thesame, Coating Xpert, Sita Chine et Bluestar Chine and Schneider Electric) had the opportunity to present their examples of support given to specific collaborative projects. Schneider Electric’s testimony was based on the example of the HOMES Programme.

HOMES Methodology and Means to Make Proof of Smart Buildings Efficiency
After a number of initial studies to identify energy efficiency levers with the greatest potential, powerful simulation techniques are being implemented to design and optimise the future solutions. Prototyping is underway and major validation methods and means have been set up to test the various solutions and prove the improvements they offer in an unambiguous manner.

Connect to and easily manage different energy sources A new generation of energy management switchboards is being created.
It offers the ability to connect to and to utilize renewable energies (photovoltaic and wind turbine).
This board is intelligent and is capable of suggesting alternative courses of action to the user according to user preferences: energy savings, renewable energy maximum use, profitability.
